Abstinence education? Gee, I wonder if that's ever been tried.A fourth federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration's decision to prematurely end grants aimed at cutting teen pregnancy rates.
Judge John Coughenour in Washington state ruled Tuesday afternoon that the administration unlawfully ended grants two years early for the King County Health Department in Seattle, which participated in the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program.

Federal judges have now ruled in four different cases involving nine TPP grantees that the administration's actions were unlawful.
The rulings mean the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will have to process applications for the final two years of funding.
The HHS last year sent notices to grantees informing them that their grants would end two years earlier than originally planned, arguing that the program was ineffective.
Trump appointees at HHS are pushing to give the TPP program a greater emphasis on abstinence education.
